I would like to see something like that, too.

Yes, you can do an ADVANCED SEARCH on HMF to find out if a rose is armed with thorns/ prickles. Please remember that this information usually comes to us from site user COMMENTS. Rose literature may say a particular class is armed with prickles, but there are always exceptions. Nursery catalogs and websites don't really mention this habit because the catalogs and websites are their marketing tools, so your experience is very important to HMF.

Keeping this in mind, here is how you can do an ADVANCED SEARCH for this plant characteristic:

1. Click ADVANCED SEARCH on the navigation bar to the left
2. Click HABIT
3. Click ARMED WITH THORNS / PRICKLES
4. Click CONTINUE
5. Click SEARCH

I found 72 "pages" in my SEARCH.

You can narrow your search if you are a HMF premium-member, in that you can select more category information. For example, you may only be interested in hybrid teas and floribundas. In that case after clicking CONTINUE above, you would click CLASS and check the boxes for hybrid teas and floribundas, click CONTINUE and then click SEARCH.

Smiles,
